偷聽別人說話的行為，在英文裡叫 eavesdrop [ˋivzdrɑp]
它指的是刻意從旁聽取別人原本應該是私密的對話內容
比如平時在公共場所，刻意很認真地想聽清楚旁邊的人在講什麼
這就叫eavesdrop
我們來造句：
這叫 overhear [ ovɚˋhɪr]，過去式是 overheard [ ovɚˋhɝd]
比如：
則是用 wiretap [ˋwaɪr͵tæp] (也可寫成 wire tap)
也可用簡稱 tap 或口語上用 bug [bʌg] 這個字
可以說：His office is bugged.
bug 也可當名詞指「竊聽裝置」，另一個說法是wire
電影或影集中常會有人身上戴了竊聽裝置去蒐集犯罪證據
有人起疑時就會問他：Are you wearing a wire/bug?
